Here’s the plan for 2008:
1. Finish the book on the beatitudes
2. Release a free eBook on “worship”
3. Write a record
4. Record the record
5. Release the record for free on-line as a download (no strings) with no rights management (this mean you can pass it on to anyone and play it on whatever you want)
6. Release that book on the beatitudes
The point? More words and music in more hands than ever means more people coming to shows and this site and that (probably) means more kids being rescued from poverty. Independence gives me the freedom to pursue only one goal – not mine and the label’s and radio’s and retails. One goal: save kids. And independence gives me the freedom to do crazy things in order to meet that goal: free words, free music, free shows.
That’s the goal and the plan for 2008.
What’s your goal? Does your plan get you there? Why not?

Sounds great. I really (REALLY) want to read your book on the beatitudes.
Noelle says:
Hey Shaun,
I’m looking forward to the book (the music too… I guess.) I will definately pass on your website to others. Your enthusiam to save kids’ lives is very contagious!

I told my daughters that Shaun Groves was writing a book based on Matthew’s Gospel (we’re reading it now), and my 3 year old said “the singer?” I’m very excited for “the year of Shaun Groves”.
You did forget to mention the minimum of 12 shlogcasts you are recording as well (great book promo). Listen to Donald Miller read chapter 1 of “To Own a Dragon”. I can’t put his books down.
Thanks for this outline. My goal is to simply become a better follower of Jesus and thank you for helping me!!
Your fan In Christ,
Kevin

Goal? Get back into ministry “full-time” (I realize we are to minister wherever we are, whatever we are doing, but I’ll trust you know what I mean here), playing music, speaking and writing. Plan? Still working on that. It’s at times like this I have to ask myself…what would Shaun do?

Tim says:
I’ve had one of those “plan” things before. Trouble is, my plan and God’s plan don’t always end up being the same. He wins…every time. I’m still hoping for the day when I can have a plan. I used to like having one. It got tooken. Jeeez!
West says:
My plan for 2008? I haven’t even gotten 2007 finished yet. I was supposed to record some music; however, that has not come to fruition. I got most of it done……maybe you could host a drummer from out of town….HA!
I look forward to hearing/reading what you put out.

Plans are a funny things – as noted above – our plans and God’s plans often run very different. In a general sense – move towards degree completion, get out of debt (ya for student debt) and figure out where this journey is going more or less. The rest is on my blog – where I can edit it as often as I need to.

What don’t you pull a Radiohead with your album? It’s a great, ethical business model, and I think more than a few people would be eager to support you that way.
